How Homeowners Insurance Works

Homeowners protection offers coverage on a special form basis under the HO-3 policy. This means that most sudden and accidental events causing physical damage to your home are covered – along with other structures on your property such as a detached garage or tool shed. Furthermore, most homeowners policies are issued on replacement cost basis. Together, we will determine the amount of coverage needed to replace or rebuild your home and develop a tailored homeowners insurance quote just for you.

How Is My Personal Property Covered Under Homeowners Insurance?

Coverage ‘Round the World’ – Personal Property Coverage provides worldwide coverage for your furniture, clothes and other personal possessions. Whether it’s fire, theft, hail or other peril listed in your policy, you’re protected. And, regardless of where you are, you’re covered.

Your personal property losses are settled on an actual cash value basis, which is the amount your property is worth at the time of the loss. You have the option of purchasing Replacement Cost on Contents, which settles your personal property losses on a replacement cost basis rather than an actual cash value basis. You will be paid the amount to replace the items after the deductible. No deduction will be made for depreciation with the replacement cost endorsement on your contents.

Additional Homeowners Insurance Coverage Options
